Teleskopes: Lazers

3.11.16

Los Angeles space-shoegazers, Teleskopes, who shared with us their excellent track, Criminals, earlier this Fall, have returned with another sterling space rocker, the more up-tempo, Lazers, which is already available on iTunes, Spotify and more services and also ready to stream below.

The trio is comprised of Fox Fagan (bass, vocals), Pelle Hillstrom (guitar), and Jesper Kristensen (drums), formed in 2011 when the last two met Fagan who had just relocated from Australia to L.A. After working together on other projects, they eventually materialized as a three-piece, began writing their own music and became a successful live act in L.A. clubs like The Viper Room, Harvard & Stone and The Satellite. In 2014 they recorded some of their own tracks at Studio 606 in just a few days and handed them over to music producer, Joe Chiccarelli (White Stripes, Spoon, Bleached, Jeff The Brotherhood, Morrissey). Among these tracks was Lazers, the song that has just become the band's first official release, a solid space rock track, yet again evocative of some early nineties alternative rock vitality.
